  • great car - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    this vehicle turns heads and gets you lots of attention if thats what your looking for. Great interior design and exterior design, all the exterior curves/lines of the car are beautiful. Ive had some trouble with the air suspension not lowering by itself when the car is turned off; the car will sometimes do it and sometimes wont. also note, that the voice command for the cd player, if you ask to play track "seven" the car will play track "seventy". Overall, great car, very sturdy and powerful. Anyone in the orange county area, Land Rover Newport Beach dealership has extremely friendly service.

  • Great Car - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    I love being in my RRS. Writing from the UK where I drive a diesel. 29 mpg on a decent run. After 24,000 miles in 7 months (including a 2500 mile round trip to Poland after having taken delivery of the car 2 days before) I can safely say this is the best car Ive driven. Quiet and smooth and when cruise control set to 100mph on German autobahns its a dream. Very few niggles in my first 24,000 miles: warning lights often come on for no reason; dipping wing mirrors sometimes dont come back up, and problems finding the correct snow chains. But otherwise this car is FAB!!!!

  • Transmission Erratic - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Truck drags between gears when rpm is at 2000 and speed of 70 mph or greater. Problem is repeatable. When i took to the shop they gave me a loaner and it does the same thing. I like the car but the tranny needs work. Good service and the car looks great.

  • Pleasant Surprise - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    I have been amazed by the quality and comfort of this SUV since the day I took delivery a year ago. LR has out done themselves with the Sport. It is the most nimble SUV on the road and the best I have ever owned - and I have owned many SUVs. The style and craftmanship are unsurpassed. It blows my old BMW built SUV away on all counts. Pricey, you say. Hogwash, I say. Its worth every penney! A year on the road and it still turns heads. Handles like a sports car, climbs like a billy goat with power to spare. The air ride suspension is amazing.

  • Bonatti Grey RRS SUPERCHARGED - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    Great vehicle, fun to drive, strong performance, great handling and turns heads everywhere I go. I have only had one consistent problem and that is a "Faulty suspension" indicator that keeps coming on and locking the vehicle in standard height. I have to then restart the car in order to get it to go away. Its finicky and can happen several times in a day. Other than that, one of the best vehicles I ever bought.

  • Wow, Finally - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    I finally found a Range Rover. I love teh sexy look. Just had to get one. Ride is great and unbelievable. Test drive and you will purchase it. I stil get a lot of attention even after two years of ownership. I love this truck. Drives comfortable like a luxury sedan.

  • Drives Great, Technology Lacking - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    The RRS drives great but, having owned 4 previous Land Rovers, I expected that. This one is, by far, the quickest though. And, it looks great too. Now if the engineers can get the technology up to par with the competition, we would be all set. Case in point: the $2500 rear seat entertainment does NOT come with, nor can it be equipped with, wireless headphones. I usually put all after market entertainment systems in the Rovers but was told NOT to with this one due to integration with the cars computer. So, cmon guys, lets get a better audio screen and some wireless headphones. I know it can be done...I have done in my last 3 Rovers!!

  • Spot On - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

    This vehicle was bought to replace the Lexus GX 470, it is far superior to the Lexus and it a real pleasure to drive. They thought of everything, already own the Range Rover and could not be happier with the new body style and cockpit design.

  • Hot hot - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    This suv can turn heads all day long, smooth, fast, sexy, Ive had mine 9 months and not a problem yet, also Im getting 15.2 mpg and driving hard.

  • Great Mix - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    By -

    RRS feels so solid and has great acceleration. The ride is a little stiff, but the payoff is the sport car like handling. Very comfortable for its size - top quality materials!!!
